Speakers for Yamaha AS2100


Hello all, 

was recently able to purchase a Yamaha as2100 for a really good price and was wondering what speakers would pair well with it. Budget for speakers will be $2k but am flexible. Was wondering if I could get some feedback from any AS2100 owners. Looking for bookshelf speakers preferably. Listen to a bit of everything but mainly jazz and 80s music. Will not be playing at ear splitting volumes as I live in an apartment. And feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

best,

Mike

I also own the Canton Vento Reference 9 DC.  As mentioned, they are very well made, attractive, and produce a surprising amount of tight bass for their size.  They are very neutral and maybe a little on the "polite" side.  Very easy to listen to, but they don't offer up as much detail as my Harbeth P3ESR or Focal Electra 1008 BE.  The Cantons are a little more on the "warm" side.  If you like that, then they are a great bargain at their current prices at accesories4less.  If you like your sound a little more lively, The P3ESRs are fantastic, but aren't going to have the bass presence of the Cantons, which may be a positive for apartment living.
